Two more sleeps until the Christmas holidays!
Our impending freedom from school helped the day speed
along, and so did the continuing holiday activities. I especially loved playing during Phys-Ed,
Music, and Spanish – the last Day One schedule classes of the year.
There isn’t much else to report from school. All of the kids and teens who are really
involved in tomorrow’s Christmas show were busy with that off and on today, and
including getting the gym set up for that tomorrow morning; it’ll be an all-day
thing for them. Rowen and I aren’t part
of that group, but a few of our classmates are doing more than just our Grade
Seven class contribution to the show. We
probably should get more involved in things like this, but Rowen’s always been
very shy about stepping into the spotlight, and I’m so used to staying under
the radar for anything that could bring too much attention to Mom and me that
I’ve never done things like concerts or plays on purpose; even though that
really isn’t something I have to worry about anymore. Maybe we’ll see about getting involved in a
few things next year – if we can work that in around everything else we have on
the go already.
Rowen and I were able to get straight to our play day after
school, and we again had Ethan and Ehlana with us. The weather wasn’t cooperating, so we played
in my room and the lounge while Mom took care of a little work in the
office. We were having dinner and doing
another cooking night at Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s, so we headed over to
their house in time to help out with making dinner once Aunt Leanne got home
from work. I got to keep Rowen with us,
since her parents were busy at the store anyway; and we switched between playing
with Ethan and Ehlana, and helping out with some of the cooking and cleaning. That might not sound very exciting to most
kids, but we had fun; and there was some bonus taste-testing too that was fun
and delicious.
Rowen went home when her parents closed the store for the
night, but we kept working until ten-thirty before Mom decided it was time to
take Ethan and Ehlana home and put them to bed.
It’s been another late night for me, but I’m nearly ready for the
holiday break; and it’s going to be nice to only deal with email and any
can’t-wait family business work that might pop up once I’m finished the work I
have planned for after school tomorrow.
I’ve been working for more than two hours since coming up to
bed, and have had enough for tonight, so it’s time to wrap this up and crash
for a few hours.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
